Chapter 42: Winning a Thousand Miles Away

Yin Jian arranged for someone to go over to ask Bu Huishu to explain his intentions, and Bu Huishu said: "This case was done by an acquaintance. Just ask the deceased's daughter. ”

The person who went brought back this word to Yin Jian, and Yin Jian wrote it in his reply letter and brought it back to Wu Shicheng, the commander of Zaoyang County.

The county magistrate read the reply and was overjoyed, knowing how the case had been solved.

He commanded Qu Sile to be interrogated.

"Qu Sile, say, who are you with?" The prefectural magistrate asked.

"Master, the little girl is not married and lives with her parents." Qu Sile replied.

"No, what the official is asking is, which man are you with at night?" The prefectural magistrate continued to ask.

Hearing this, Qu Sile's face turned red, lowered his head, and did not speak.

"Oh, since you do it, don't be afraid to say it, you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it yourself. Why don't you have the courage to say it? Wu Shicheng asked.

"Master, the little girl and Xiucai did it." After Qu Sile finished speaking, he lowered his head again.

"Which showman?" Wu Shicheng continued to ask.

"It's the talent in the new exam, named Yao Mingyuan." Qu Sile said, and then stated the experience of interacting with Yao Xiucai.

"The new Xiucai is so arrogant, come and go, invite Yao Mingyuan to interrogate." Wu Shicheng commanded.

After a while, Yao Mingyuan was brought.

Yao Mingyuan looked at the formation of the county government hall, his heart was weak, his legs were weak, and he was about to kneel, but suddenly thought that Xiucai did not have to kneel to the county order, so he stopped squatting and immediately returned to normal.

"Yao Mingyuan has seen the master!" Yao Mingyuan said.

"Yao Mingyuan, you are only a talent in the show, how did you do it? actually hooked up with a people's girl, got into such a big trouble, and had a murder, if you don't invite it truthfully, I'm afraid you will have to bear very serious consequences, and this official will not embarrass you, you will tell the truth, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin. Wu Shicheng said.

"Master, I don't understand what it means." Yao Mingyuan said.

"Don't pretend to be confused, the official asked you, do you know Qu Sile?" Wu Shicheng asked.

"Acquaintance, what's wrong?"

"Her parents were killed." Wu County said.

"What does the killing of her parents have to do with her late birth?"

"Do you and Qu Sile want to go away and fly high? Because Qu Sile's parents asked for a bride price, you held a grudge and didn't want to give the bride price, so you killed them? Wu Shicheng asked.

"My lord, I would never do this in my later life. After being introduced by the matchmaker, Wansheng knew that the woman Qu Sile wanted to have a relationship with Wansheng, and knew that the woman favored Wansheng, but Wansheng didn't want to have a relationship with her, so he rejected the matchmaker. Wansheng and the woman have never met, let alone a tryst, there is no claim that her parents asked for a bride price from Wansheng, and there is no ambiguity between Wansheng and her. Please check it out. Yao Mingyuan said.

"Bold, is there any evidence for what you say? If you don't have proof, you're the biggest suspect. Look, there are a lot of torture instruments in the lobby, do you want to try them? Wu Shicheng asked.

"Master, study for the sake of reason, and reason must be reasonable, don't threaten and intimidate late students with heavy punishment at every turn. If you extort a confession by torture, it is easy to be beaten into a confession, and even if you confess and say what the master likes to hear, it may not be able to solve the case. In handling cases, it is still necessary to rely on facts and evidence, and not to make decisions based on personal preferences. Yao Mingyuan said.

"It's not your turn to teach this officer a lesson. Come on, go, find the matchmaker to verify, and if you are found to be lying, be careful of your skin! Wu Shicheng said.

Wu Shicheng knew where the key to the investigation was, and with Yin Jian's guidance, he suddenly became enlightened that the current interrogation was only for the purpose of making the case clearer.

After a while, the matchmaker was taken.

"The one who kneels is a matchmaker?" Wu Xianling asked.

"It's the old body."

"What's your name?"

"Xiao Yan's." The matchmaker said.

"Who's in the house?" Wu Xianling asked.

"There is an old body, and a son." The matchmaker replied.

"Where's your husband?"

"Dead."

"What do you do for a living?"

"Talking about matchmaking for a living."

"When did your husband die?"

"It's been sixteen years since I died."

"Has your child seen him?"

"No, when the old man's husband died, the old man was still pregnant, and my son has never seen what his father looked like since he was born." The matchmaker said.

"Xiao Yan, this official asked you, how did you introduce Qu Sile to Yao Mingyuan?"

At the meeting to celebrate Xiucai, the old body saw that Qu Sile was buying threads, her eyes revealed her hope for Xiucai, and when the old body saw it, she took the initiative to ask her if she had a crush on the rookie talent, she acquiesced to this, and the old body took the initiative to match, wanting Qu Sile and the rookie Yao Mingyuan to tie the knot." Xiao Yan said.

"What happened?"

Later, the rookie was unwilling, and the old body went home. Later, Qu Sile's mother came to find the old body, and said that she wanted to ask the old body to find a good family for Qu Sile. The old body agreed, and the old body didn't know what happened later. Xiao Yan replied.

"I see!" Wu County said.

"At that time, when Qu Sile's mother came to you, did anyone hear it while she was talking?" Wu County Ling asked.

"Nope."

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

"Yes, the old son is at home."

"Sleep at home."

"How old is my son?"

"Sixteen."

"Sixteen is the age of work, why sleep at home?"

"It's all to blame for the old man and the godson."

"Why do you say that?"

"The old husband died early, and the responsibility for educating the children is all on the old man. The child has been doting since he was a child, living a life of clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth, he is lazy to eat, he looks for an old man when he has no money, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles and smokes outside, and does all kinds of evil. The old body cannot be disciplined. The son sleeps during the day and goes out to play cards at night, and when he has no money, he asks the old man for it, and the old man is miserable. Xiao Yan said.

"What's your son's name?" Wu County Ling asked.

"His name is Xiao Xinyan." The matchmaker replied.

"Okay, you go down." Wu County Commander commanded, he knew that Xiao Yan was not a criminal. She has no motive to commit the crime, no time to commit the crime, and no strength to commit the crime. The biggest suspects are Yao Mingyuan and Xiao Xinyan, one of them must be a murderer.

"Come on, go catch Xiao Xinyan." Wu County ordered to throw out the order sign, and the arrester quickly led it to arrest people.

This time it was a bit long.

In the end, he was caught, and he said quickly: "Xiao Xinyan resisted arrest and ran for a long time before being caught." He gambled in the casino. Unwilling to go with us, he ran away, fortunately we surrounded the casino, it was not easy to catch many people, and I was afraid of injuring good people by mistake, so I let Xiao Xinyan run away, and then we went separately to chase him and caught him in a ruined temple. ”

"Well, you've worked hard. Who is the one who kneels? Wu Xianling asked.

"Xiao Xinyan."

"Do you know why I arrested you?"

"I don't know. Is gambling illegal? Xiao Xinyan asked.

"Don't talk nonsense! The official asked you, do you know Qu Sile? ”

"Which Qu Si Le? I don't know! ”

"It's the woman next to you, the official asked you again, do you know Qu Sile?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Xinyan replied, categorically, very crisply, without dragging the mud and water at all.

"Qu Sile, do you know Xiao Xinyan?" Wu County Ling asked.

"Master Qiyu, the little girl doesn't know Xiao Xinyan. However, the sound is familiar. Qu Sile said.

"Voice?"

"Yes, the sound is familiar." Qu Sile said.

"Okay, Shuli, record what you just said." Wu County ordered the order.

"Qu Sile, the official asked you, you had an affair with Xiucai, do you remember if Xiucai has any special marks on him?" Wu Xianling asked.

Hearing this, Qu Sile's face turned red again, and she whispered, "Yes! ”

The voice was very small, like a mosquito flying, and it was also heard by Wu County, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the special mark?" ”

"That's it, that is, there is a scar on the left arm, a bit like a birthmark, and it was bitten by the little girl, so there should be a scar." Qu Sile said.

"Okay, here's coming." Wu County Commander instructed, "Verify Yao Mingyuan's left arm." ”

After agreeing, the official stepped forward and pulled Yao Mingyuan's left sleeve apart, and found that his left arm was smooth and white, without any marks.

The official reported the verification to the Wu County Order, and the secretary recorded it.

"Okay, verify Xiao Xinyan's left arm." Wu County ordered it.

At this time, Xiao Xinyan was nervous, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead.

I was already sweating profusely.

The official stepped forward, picked up the sleeve of Xiao Xinyan's left arm, and when he reached his shoulder, he saw a scar on his left arm, which looked like a birthmark, and there were thin tooth marks, and the skin was scabbed. Apparently injured, it is a scab from a bite scar.

The official carefully reported the verified situation, Wu County ordered the secretary to record carefully, and then asked Xiao Xinyan to sign and draw, Xiao Xinyan did not go to school for a few days, because he was naughty, he didn't go on it, and he wouldn't write his name, just a little ink, and then brought out a little tail, like a tadpole.

Wu Xian Ling shouted: "The murderer has been identified, someone is coming, the murderer Xiao Xinyan is tied up, beaten forty boards, and put on death row!" With that, he threw out a red stick.

The official received the red sign, flipped Xiao Xinyan to the ground, and the big board was firmly hit, making Xiao Xinyan cry wolf. He has never been beaten since he was a child, and once he was beaten, he was killed!

The others, after signing and postponing the painting, left the court, Yao Mingyuan was innocent and went home happily.

Qu Sile went back, and with the help of other relatives, buried his parents, and felt that he had no face to live here, so he sold his old house, took gold and silver, and settled with distant relatives.

At the end of the case, Wu County ordered the case to be reported to the imperial court, and after the approval of Dali Temple, Xiao Xinyan Lingchi was executed.

A strange case appeared in the capital and reported it to Yin Jian, but after Yin Jian took over the case, he had no way to start.

The case is somewhat complicated, it is not known who the suspect is, and there is no strong evidence.

To put it simply, one day, a wealthy family in the capital was stolen. The valuables of the house were looted. Almost a professional moving mule and horse team came and cleaned the home of the rich man, who had painstakingly managed the family business that he had saved for several generations, and it was destroyed by the hands of the thieves, and the house was so empty that he almost moved the house. The scene was empty and people were panicked, but fortunately no one was injured.

A booklet was left at the scene, I don't know who forgot it? If you think about it normally, it must be that the thief panicked when he left, and accidentally left this booklet.

Of course, the rich man knew the words, and when he opened the booklet, it looked like a confession. The records above are all the private affairs of the young people in the capital.

Once this material is exposed, it will definitely make headlines in the national news, full of fierce material, all dry goods. There is no moisture whatsoever.

There is no doubt that this is not left by thieves, the rich man lost a lot of treasures, but when he picked up this booklet, he found it like a treasure, these thieves still lack caution, sloppy, sloppy, don't they leave clues in vain and let the officers and soldiers catch them?

The rich man immediately went to report to the official and handed in the booklet.

The magistrate of the capital, named Wang Chao.

He immediately began to investigate the case.

However, after thinking about it, he found that the problem was not so simple. The simpler it is, the more complicated it will be, and people say that the road is simple, and it may take understanding to understand.

According to the records in the booklet, there were 30 young people in the capital, and these young people, at what time, where, who they met, what they did, and how much money they spent, all of them were clearly recorded, like stories written by professional script writers. These storylines are full of ups and downs, gripping, and I want to read them in one sitting, but I can't get my way. These lists are like confessions. The above is a detailed record of the bad deeds of thirty Kuo Shao, and there are some ulterior things, once this booklet is made public, then, the blow to the Kuo Shao will be great, and the blow to the family where the Kuo Shao is located will be even greater, this is the biggest heart disease of the Kuo Shao's family, and I have a headache when I think of it, because the influence of the Kuo Shao has surpassed that of the parents.

The dynasty issued an order to arrest 30 young men in the capital.

For a while, it caused a sensation in the whole capital, and even the emperor heard about the case and was paying attention to it, but the case was not solved, and it took time to continue to investigate.

According to the complete record of behavior recorded in the booklet, the dynasty found Kuo Shao one by one to verify them. Most of them confessed to soliciting prostitutes and other behaviors recorded in the booklet, but of course, there were some incidents, such as drinking and making trouble, kicking over garbage facilities, burning public property, graffiti on walls, insulting innocent passers-by on the road after getting drunk, and making indecent gestures to some women from good families, etc., these details are undoubtedly revealed in the booklet.

However, this is not the crux of the case.

The most important concern of the wealthy is that their family property has been stolen, and the most important thing to do is to recover these assets. However, no matter how they were interrogated, the answers were different and the descriptions were inconsistent, which made the dynasty very troublesome. It's not clear how to proceed with this. Because the description of the whereabouts of the property is inconsistent among the thirty broad young people, it is confusing. The interrogation was deadlocked.

Wang Dynasty didn't know who to believe, he looked at the confession recorded by Shuli, pondered carefully, but he didn't know. Confessions are comprehensive and specific about things other than the theft of property, but it is impossible to say where the property is going.

The people of the capital paid attention to the progress of this case, and the dynasty struggled in the quagmire of investigation and had nothing to do.
